Over one million copies of the book, a LA Critic's award for best foreign film starring Rutger Hauer, and presently a record-breaking musical ... here is the new US edition,(of Soldier of Orange) with the original foreword from HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.When the Germans bombed Rotterdam to rubble in May,1940, Erik Hazelhoff was a carefree student. After being imprisoned by the Gestapo, he escaped from Nazi-occupied Holland, was recruited by the British Secret Service to land agents for the Dutch underground, joined the RAF, earning Dutch and British DFC's for his many missions as a Pathfinder pilot. (His chapter on a Mosquito raid to Berlin is so detailed that one feels being with him in the cockpit!) He returned at the end of the war, knighted with Holland's highest military order by Wilhelmina, the Queen of the Netherlands. As her post-war ADC he brings one into her daily life with its challenges and surprises.'Soldier of Orange' is a riveting story. Its focus is on choices in time of war. Acts of heroism, friendship, and deceit form the fate of his early fellow students and war-time comrades. (Those wanting to know more of Erik Hazelhoff's entire life ("a hundred lives'" according to Len Deighton) should look for 'Win A Few' , his autobiography from birth in Java, through international intrigues and American adventures, to his final resting place at 90, in Hawaii)

From riding the freights in Depression USA as a student, to wartime freedom fighter and RAF bomber pilot, to blockade runner, NBC vice president with the Today, Home, and Tonight shows, and tramp in New York's Central Park, Erik Hazelhoff's compelling autobiography offers a dramatic insight into his truly extraordinary life. Born in Java in 1917, Dutchman Erik hitch-hiked and rode the freights across the USA in the 1930's, then wrote his first best seller, 'Rendezvous in San Francisco'. As a law student at Leiden University when World War 2 broke out, he escaped to England but returned as an undercover agent for MI6, the British Secret Service. He later received the Dutch equivalent of the Medal of Honor, and served as aide to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands upon her return from England. Erik's postwar life was no less turbulent and spanned the globe. From sales clerk and actor in Hollywood to Director of Radio Free Europe, to oil prospector in Israel, he finally came to rest on the Big Island of Hawaii. In the words of acclaimed author Len Deighton, "Erik has lived a hundred lives."

Films from the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg have long been regarded as isolated texts. The Cinema of the Low Countries points to the interconnectedness between these national cinemas from the point of view of genre, language and format, and their local and international importance by explicitly focusing on 24 key feature films and documentaries from the region. Building on each film's relationship with its particular cultural context, this volume presents twenty-four specially commissioned essays that explore the particular significance and influence of a wide range of exemplary films. Covering the work of internationally acclaimed directors such as Joris Ivens, Henri Stock, Paul Verhoeven and the Dardenne Brothers and featuring the films Turkish Delight, The Vanishing, Daughters of Darkness, Rosetta, Soldiers of Orange and Man Bites Dog, this collection offers an original approach to the appreciation of a diverse and increasingly important regional cinema.

When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous woman they hold responsible for a tragedy during the German occupation years ago. But the past and present are inextricably entwined, particularly in a scrapbook of recipes and memories that Framboise has inherited from her mother. And soon Framboise will realize that the journal also contains the key to the tragedy that indelibly marked that summer of her ninth year. . . .

Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn. During the night he looks back at his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon: his exciting first days at school; the accident in the forest that killed his father; his adventures with Molly, the love of his life; and the battles and injustices of war that brought him to the front line. Winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year, Private Peaceful is by the third Children's Laureate, Michael Morpurgo, award-winning author of War Horse. His inspiration came from a visit to Ypres where he was shocked to discover how many young soldiers were court-martialled and shot for cowardice during the First World War. This edition also includes introductory essays by Michael Morpurgo, Associate Director of Private Peaceful production Mark Leipacher, as well as an essay from Simon Reade, adaptor & director of this stage adaptation of Private Peaceful.

The Netherlands has been one of the world's most distinctive and sophisticated football cultures. From the birth of Total Football in the sixties, through two decades of World Cup near misses to the exiles who remade clubs like AC Milan, Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea in their own image, the Dutch have often been dazzlingly original and influential. The elements of their style (exquisite skills, adventurous attacking tactics, a unique blend of individual creativity and teamwork, weird patterns of self-destruction) reflect and embody the country's culture and history. This book lays bare the elegant, fractured soul of the Dutch Masters and the culture that spawned them by exploring and analysing its key ideas, institutions, personalities and history in the context of wider Dutch society.
